If you've been following my writing since 2013, you might recognize this book. It released as my debut, Unexpected Find. I have since gotten rights back on it, and it's gone through a makeover.From an author's point of view, it's been refreshing and satisfying to rewrite this book. Rafe and Jasmine's story has always held a special place in my heart. It's because of them that I started writing. From a reader's viewpoint, I've given more of what you asked for -- more story! And you can get your expanded version (over 75 pages of new material) on...PRE-ORDER for $0.99!Okay, here are the details...

Royal Pride, book 1

Sometimes
the greatest finds are unexpected.

After five centuries, Rafe Alexander knows what to expect from
life—boredom broken by the occasional call from Shifter Affairs. No matter how
mundane the job, he always accepts their plea for help. He knows what it’s like
to lose loved ones to the shifter trafficking rings decimating their species.

But the task that takes him to West Virginia changes everything. A human
is dead. A shifter child is missing. And the human female connected to both
tragedies is hiding a secret.

He needs to discover the mystery surrounding her. But the felines he
houses—lion, tiger and jaguar—want him to get close to her for another reason.
Jasmine is special, both for how she affects him and for the treasure she’s
been guarding.

And as danger mounts, he’s left balancing his desire for revenge and his
need to protect. But the line between them isn’t always black and white,
especially where his family is concerned.

NOTE: This book was previously
released. It has been revised and re-edited.

Excerpt
#1

“Don’t get any
crazy ideas. I am not going out with any of your husband’s friends. No more
blind dates, thank you very much.”

“You don’t need
any help from me. Once you drop the ‘stay away from me’ glare you usually wear
around members of the opposite sex, you’ll have no problem picking up a guy.”
Cindy tapped a single finger against her chin. “We might even have to beat them
off you, especially if you display your goods a little more.”

She tugged at
Jazz’s shirt until the lacy edge barely covered her nipples.

Jazz gasped and
slapped away her friend’s hands. She quickly righted her top and glared at Cindy.
Jazz hated her goods. Her breasts
were too big for her frame, but genetics was a crapshoot. You got whatever the
DNA mixing bowl dished out.

“Stop it. I am not
enticing any lewd perverts with a showing of my goods.”

Cindy raised her
hands. “Just promise me you’ll keep an open mind.”

She bit back her
sharp retort. Cindy meant well. It wasn’t her fault Jazz had to keep men at
arm’s length. It wasn’t Jazz’s either, but those were the facts. Time for
another lie. What was one more?

“Fine. The next
hot guy who shows any interest in me…” I’ll
ignore just like I did with the blond hunk Josh was talking with. She inwardly
rolled her eyes at the ridiculousness of her lame fib. “…will be the one I take
home.”

“Now that’s an
offer I can’t resist.”

Jazz pivoted. A
wide expanse of muscle filled her vision. She followed the ridges of his
stomach lower. His narrow waist met lean, denim-covered hips. Openmouthed, she
stared at the growing bulge in his pants. An answering spark of arousal lighted
within her. Shivers of awareness, the same ones that had skipped down her spine
a few minutes ago, traveled from the hardening tips of her breasts to her clit.
The bundle of nerves took on a heartbeat of its own.

She glanced into
his face. Exotic, uptilted honey-brown eyes were framed by long blond lashes. Specks
of color floated in those oddly bright eyes—gold, blue, green. Beautiful and
downright captivating.

His full lips,
parted slightly, glistened as if he’d licked them. She swiped her tongue across
her suddenly dry ones.

“Am
I hot enough for you?” He rubbed his thumb over the corner of her mouth.
“Because I’m interested. Very, very interested.”

A true romantic at heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced
there’s a knight in shining armor for every woman (or man), but you won’t find
damsels in distress in her stories. She adores pairing alpha heroes with women
strong enough to match them and bring them to their knees. She also enjoys
flipping the traditional roles in romances because her motto is—love and people
should never be forced to conform to anyone’s norm.

She holds a degree in chemistry and has worked
in research but now focuses on ensuring quality. She considers it the perfect
outlet for her as she’s the first to admit she has some OCD tendencies. It
carries over into her writing life too. While engrossed in a novel, she has a
habit of forgetting to eat and sleep. Fortunately, she’s married to her own
knight in shining armor who understands her oddities and loves her anyway. They
reside in Pennsylvania with their three children, dog, snake and guinea pigs.
Her other interests include tattoos, animals, classic cars and all things
spooky and sexy.
